Creamed Peas & Potatoes

This is a family favorite.

4-5 potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 bunches of green onions, chopped
1 pkg. green peas

1/2 c. butter
4 TB. flour
Salt and Pepper (S&P)
2 1/4 c. Milk (more or less as needed)

Place potatoes and onions in a pot, add just enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are cooked, but not overly tender (abt. 10 minutes).  Add peas last 2 minutes.  Drain.

In a different pot, melt the butter. Add the flour, s&p and keep stirring for about a minute or so..it will thicken. Slowly add the milk to your desired amount. Stir.

Add the 2 together. Heat up.

**Updated**
Instant Pot
Peel, cube potatoes

Put in instant pot.  Add 1 1/2 cups water.  Set IP to 5 minutes. 

While it is cooking, make the roux.  I added tons and tons of S&P and it turned out great.

Open IP and add green onions and frozen peas.  Put on for 1 minute.  Then add the sauce after done.
